Famous illustration from British stories for children. From top ‘Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll ( illustration by John Tenniel ), ‘The Wind in the Willows’ by Kenneth Grahame ( illustration by Ernest H Shepard ), ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ by A. A. Milne ( illustration by Ernest H Shepard )and ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ by Beatrix Potter. I like their restricted sweetness and balance between colours and White. Very stylishly British.
